Completely crazy
I've never heard of the Tootsies, but it looked like it would be fun.
There were some over the top camp moments and some ridiculous moments. The first scene was awful - I don't like that sort of humour (I had to fast forward) but I hoped it would get better. It did!
They were some real laugh out loud moments. There were truly silly moments.
What I liked: despite having really silly moments, there were some real life issues in the film: pretending to like your partner's 'daughter', pretending not to notice something is slightly off with your partner, being desperate to have a child (for whatever reason!) and willing to do anything.
What I didn't like: stereotypical camp gay men. I accept there are lots of camp gay men, but at times it felt like too much. It didn't detract from the fun of the film though (because the campiness was part of the fun!)
It won't win any prizes but there was enough to keep me watching without being bored.
